Fairly-ace-actually jerky indie types Clor have called time on current band activities.

The band's manager, John Best, confirmed the band's split via a lengthy statement, parts of which are reprinted below.

"Clor, a band for whom musical differences surely seemed to be the whole
point, have nonetheless succumbed to this
hoariest of rock'n'roll fates and decided not to be a pop group anymore.

"Formed by dual/duel guitarists Barry Dobbin and
Luke Smith a couple of years back, Clor were signed to Regal/Parlophone on the strength
of the demos for what would become their debut EP, 'Welcome Music Lovers'.

"Their self-titled, self-produced debut album (pictured) was met with a mixture of
plaudits and bemusement when it emerged last summer, but, as people got
acclimatised to its strange new energy, became a strong cult classic,
particularly among fellow musicians, and spawned the spazzy dancing freak
hit-let, 'Love and Pain'.

"It is poignant that, as they split, Clor's star is arguably at its
zenith, with Clor about to be released in America and their future work
eagerly anticipated by anyone with a keen interest in
new music.

"At the time of writing the future career paths of (founders) Barry Dobbin and Luke Smith are
unclear, though both are likely to continue making music along their
divergent routes."
